3 Potato 4 Comes to Broadmoor

1 Jan 2014

With a shift towards healthy, local eating on the horizon, the Crescent City is becoming more vegan friendly. Now, New Orleans has its own 3 Potato 4, (2727 S. Broad Avenue), the tater franchise that takes the grease out of comfort food. The restaurant serves the versatile starch baked, in a compostable snack cone.

First, diners choose whether they would like wedge, red or sweet potato, and they pick one of three sizes. Then, there are 17 different toppings and a variety of “vegannaise” and fancy ketchups to select. There is also a salting station with a variety of flavored salts to shake over the snacks.

After a few months at the Broadmoor spot, vegan activist, NOLA Veggie Fest Founder and owner Jehan Strouse said that she and her staff haven’t gained a pound.

“Our potatoes are baked in a convection oven. We’ve been eating potatoes every day and none of us have gained any weight” said Strouse, touting the benefits oil free eating.

The vegan, gluten-free fast food restaurant also aims to be “zero trash,” said Strouse.

“Our soup to-go containers are made from potatoes, as are our new 2-ounce souffle cups,” said Strouse. “We also recycle glass.” Find out more at their website.
